I don’t know why I like this photo, which I photoed a year and two days ago, in Thuir in the south of France. But here it is anyway:
Is it simply that the chairs are so nice? Is it the confident way they present themselves, confident that they are nice chairs, and confident that no vehicle will attack them?
I seem to recall being on the lookout for chairs at that time. Chairs rather like those. But of course buying some of these chairs and then trying to ship them back to England was out of the question. Any chairs I buy have to be on sale in London. Did all that have something to do with liking this photo?
Don’t know.
It occurs to me that I am fond of arguing that modernism has totally triumphed indoors. And it mostly has.
But these chairs didn’t get the memo. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to get these chairs out of my mind since photoing them. They contradicted, by their very existence, one of my pet theories.
